Researchers from the Imperial College London developed a new class of PLED materials that exhibit circularly polarized luminescence. Basically this means that the new materials emit polarized light which could make for more efficient Polymer-OLED devices as none of the light will be blocked by the external anti-glare circular polarizer added to the display.

In 2017 it was reported that Samsung is developing an AMOLED display without a circular polarizer. A polarizer film adds to the thickness of the display (and to the cost) - and it also absorbs some of the light and so reduces the power efficiency and the brightness of the display. It is not clear how Samsung aims to produce a non-polarizer OLED.
